Jim Henson's Computer Bot

This short film by Muppet creator Jim Henson depicts a form of "artificial intelligence" as it was envisioned in 1963. The sequence showing the robot gathering vast amounts of data is perhaps prescient of our present-day web crawlers, marketing databases, and government intelligence agencies?

High Frequency Log Amps

Author: 

Analog Devices

Logarithmic amplifiers provide an output voltage that is logarithmically scaled relative to the amplitude envelope of the input signal. Historically these have been used to provide logarithmic Y-axis scaling to spectrum analyzer displays, for example. This app note describes the basic block diagram and principles of operation of a log amplifier.

Foundations of Green Communications

Author: 

Earl McCune

Until now, the focus in developing wireless communications formats has been almost exclusively on using novel techniques to overcome specific channel impairments (i.e. multipath, selective fading, etc). What has been missing is an assessment of the overall energy efficiency of the final hardware that is to be deployed. This paper introduces this type of analysis.
